Abstract
Teaching and learning programming languages has been always a vital problem within educational processes. Because of technical and abstract subjects that should be learned while dealing with a programming language, there has been a remarkable effort to make everthing better for achieveing better, more effective and efficient teaching and learning programming languages. Studies performed in this manner has been also supported by some remarkable educational approaches. In this study, a sample of technical teaching approach for Python programming language is considered. Because the approach is currently in the process, some essential information regarding to it has been provided in order to introduce the whole process and enable readers to have enough idea about what is done. Briefly, the approach is formed by blended learning, which combines both face to face and e-learning sessions together. In the approach introduced here m-learning is used along e-learning sessions of the educational flow, and some activities are held during face to face lectures.
